You can find three models currently in stock under the wooden dildo section. This initial batch consist of long-time favorite design Deja Vuu, the beloved Grace, and a production version of the newly adopted Knob. There are only two of each model and they are in some lovely rich exotic hardwoods. Make sure you snag one of these rare beauties before someone else does!

Also keep in mind that if these sell well, you may see more models available through Shevibe…which would be awesome because Shevibe rocks!

They did confirm that my episode will air on June 10th, so I thought it’d be a great time to talk about how I feel about the whole thing because I’m still honestly really excited!

First of all, I have to say I thought it would take a lot more time to get an opportunity like this. I thought it would be hilarious and amazing if my career as a wooden sextoy craftsman somehow got me on television, but there I was with this crew in my basement touring my workspace and asking me about what I do and how I do it. And there are loads of larger sextoy manufacturers and bigger names they could have filmed with, but they chose to film my one-man operation. Opportunities like that don’t just come around all the time and I’ve honestly never had an opportunity to do anything as massive as that. I cannot thank Anna, Shea, Vince, Anton, Nikki and Daniel and the rest of the crew enough for highlighting Lumberjill and being so incredible to work with. It was definitely an experience I will never forget.

Check out the Lumberjill episode of Toyride on June 10th and many more on Playboy TV by calling your cable provider or watch online at Playboytv.com. There’s a 2 day trial available for you to check out all they have to offer!

http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/lumberjill-leisurecrafts-tinder/#respondWed, 08 Feb 2017 10:56:37 +0000http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/?p=380Continued]]>With so many people being introduced to wooden sextoys for the very first time when they discover Lumberjill Leisurecrafts, it’s very important that they find something they’d like to try for a price they feel comfortable with. With wooden sextoys, it’s often a matter of cost because handmade things don’t typically come cheap and when they do, quality pays the price. Lumberjill seeks to produce quality products at every price point and has proven just that with the very popular and affordable Don’t Stop model, but leaving well enough alone just isn’t good enough.

That’s why Lumberjill Leisurecrafts proudly presents the Cinder handmade wooden dildo! Cinder is defined as something used to start fires and this new budget-minded model aims to do that in the minds and nether regions of anyone who gives it a go!

Cinder was designed to bridge the gap between Lumberjill’s Don’t Stop and Rush models after retiring the beloved Right Way model. The idea was to create a new toy that had the same overall length and girth as the outgoing model, but in a design that was easier, faster and more consistent to produce. This also meant it could be offered at a lower price, giving those wanting a more substantial toy than Don’t Stop a solid choice without having to look at higher priced models for the satisfaction they were looking for. The result is a clean elegant design that first time wooden sextoy buyers will feel comfortable with when it comes to purchase and playtime.

The shape of Cinder was inspired by feminine curves and sports an abstract depiction of an hourglass figure. It measures 6″ in overall length with nearly 5″ of usable length, and 1.5″ wide at the thickest part of the gradually tapered swell. It then pinches in dramatically at the “waist” before ending in a simple ergonomic teardrop grip that provides ample real estate for a secure hold.

At a price of just $27.95, Cinder provides a quality handmade piece of pure wooden pleasure without setting your sextoy budget ablaze. These first examples will be offered in black cherry wood and in plain texture to keep the price low as well as to gauge feedback on the base model. Cinder has plenty of room to grow in the future with nearly endless combinations of woods, colors, textures, and engravings which will become available depending on its success when it officially launches in mid-March 2017.

If you’re interested in reserving a first run Cinder before they go on sale, please contact me at my Etsy store and let me know!

http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/lumberjill-2017-update/#respondSun, 05 Feb 2017 06:09:49 +0000http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/?p=375Continued]]>Wow! It’s been a while since I posted anything here and I really hate that. I’ve been so occupied making products that I’ve hardly had time to update this site as regularly as I’d like, but I do have plenty of news to share and it’s all good!

SheVibe.com
Yes! Outstanding quality sextoy retailer SheVibe.com placed a small order with me in late 2016 that I’m nearly ready to deliver to them and I couldn’t be more excited! SheVibe.com operates ethically and prides themselves on only carrying top quality body safe toys. Being approached by them is a huge honor, especially considering they only carry one other wooden sextoy brand in their online store. Please support SheVibe.com even if you don’t buy one of my products, but buying my products from them will support them too!

Customs
A big part of the reason I’ve been so quiet with the updates is because you all have been keeping the custom orders coming! It’s been a non-stop train of bespoke individualized custom designs since around August 2016 and I appreciate each and every one of them! Being trusted with all your wooden sextoy dreams is rewarding and humbling, and I look forwarding to continuing this service although there may be a slight hiatus coming in the near future in order to handle other aspects of my business.

PlayboyTV
Sometime in late February 2017, PlayboyTV will be coming to my home to film an episode of a new show that is all about sextoys. I’m still having trouble processing this one because it’s just too damn awesome! So as I work to make my workspace a bit more presentable before the filming takes place, I will probably have a bit more going on on my social media accounts (although for some reason, Tumblr isn’t letting me upload stuff -_-). But yeah…wow! Really excited and nervous about this one, but what a fantastic opportunity to show people just how good wood can be!

New Models!
With all of this other activity going on, I haven’t had much time to work on the new designs I planned on launching this year. They are still up for production, but obviously production has been pushed back until I clear my custom queue. That said, I have still been working on them when I can and the first new model you will see is slated to come in at a very affordable price!

So please stay tuned for all the new things coming this year and thanks for your continued support!

I jumped at the opportunity to let her, her audience, and all of you get to know the man behind the wood a bit better! She asks me many questions about how I got into making wooden sextoys, what kind of work it takes to make wooden sextoys, and the questions that’s a splinter in everyone’s mind, “Won’t you get splinters?”

I had such a fun time chatting with Erin and I can’t thank her enough for hosting me. Please take some time to listen to the episode as well as other episodes with other amazing people in the sex positive community! I hope you enjoy the episode and if you’d like to hear me on someone else’s podcast, put in a good word for me, would ya?

http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/lumberjill-summer-2016-update/#respondFri, 05 Aug 2016 17:27:57 +0000http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/?p=280Continued]]>Well hello there! It’s been a while since we just had a nice chit chat about things and I figured I was way overdue to let you all know what’s going on behind the scenes at Lumberjill. I’ve got a few topics that have been on my mind for the last few months and I just want to get you caught up.

First of all, I just want to say how much I appreciate all of you. The views, the messages, the favorites on the Etsy store, following me on social media, all of your feedback…thank you! It means a lot to me to have your support on the work I take so much pride in doing. It’s one of the things that keeps me pushing to do better, to do more than I think I’m capable of. I wouldn’t still be doing this a year and a half later if it weren’t for you all. Thank you!

And that actually rolls into the first thing I want to address, speaking of the people that support me. The blogging/review community has been a big part in helping me better understand this industry, especially at a consumer level and I’ve really been surprised by how many of you have contacted me wanting to try my products. I know I’ve spoken to a number of you, especially earlier in 2016, and discussed sending you something to review around summer. Well, we’re well into summer and I still haven’t sent any of you anything! I want to apologize for that. I really did have every intention of making a big batch of new things and having enough to sell as well as provide to interested bloggers, but it just hasn’t worked out that way. No matter how much I work instead of sleep, I’m just the one person doing all of the work and while I am steadily finding ways to work more efficiently and quickly, there are still limits to the volume I can produce. I’m still very interested in working with anyone that is interested and I actually do have a running list of those that have asked to work with me. I haven’t forgotten you and I will contact you as soon as I have something for you.

On the same note of having product, the other reason I haven’t been too quick to send anything out is because I haven’t been all that happy with the products I’ve been offering. I’m sure it’s some sort of sickness, but every time I finish with something, I’ve already thought of how I’m going to do something better. This line of thinking is a double edged sword as it keeps me thinking of new fresh ideas and pushing the craft as well as my own skill, but it has also kept me from nailing down any sort of regular product line I’m happy with. There is also the practical component of me not wanting to send in something for review that might not be available for purchase later on. It’s kind of a dick move to the people reading the review who might be interested in purchasing that item. And with as many designs as I’ve gone through by this point, I know that will most likely be the case. I would much rather provide a product that I know I’m going to keep around for a long time. That said, I actually feel like the next wave of new products I release will have longevity with both myself and the general sextoy buying public. The K-9 humanoid hybrid toy and kegel eggs have already had a lot of positive feedback and that really is just the chip of the old wooden block. I have a lot of other things in development that will be much more affordable, easier to produce, and have been made with different needs and desires in mind. Many of these designs will be produced in smaller numbers to start with, but depending on the response, will be made in larger numbers

Now I’m going to bed since I haven’t actually done that yet. Thanks for reading!

]]>http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/lumberjill-summer-2016-update/feed/0280Pre-orders and Payment Plans Now Available!http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/pre-orders-and-payment-plans-now-available/
http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/pre-orders-and-payment-plans-now-available/#respondSat, 07 May 2016 15:51:18 +0000http://www.lumberjillcrafts.com/?p=275Continued]]>As you likely know by now, a lot of my time and energy gets put into coming up with more designs and producing the highest quality products that I humanly can. As much as this is a passion for me, however, this is also a business and my goal is to figure out not only how to create better pleasure for my customers, but how to improve service as well. Aside from the large batch of new and exciting things coming to the storefront, this has also been something that’s been heavy on my mind.

Going into my 3rd year of operation has been thinking of ways I can better run Lumberjill and really make this work best for you and for me. That’s why I’m announcing that pre-orders as well as payment plans will now be available to customers!

Lumberjill is not a mass production company. The work I do is either custom or semi-custom and being such, I felt that implementing option to pre-order would be appropriate. This allows my customers the ability to secure an example of a design they desire without having to worry about availability and tell me which designs they are most interested in all while helping me better gauge interest, establish pricing, and focus my resources where they are required most. Designs available for pre-order will have “(Pre-order)” in the title so you can’t miss them! I will still be creating some inventory as well for those not interested in pre-orders, but there will not me a huge inventory. Still, I like to keep something on the shelves, you know!

Whenever something is handmade, it’s just going to cost more and I fully understand that the associated cost can keep some from experiencing what Lumberjill has to offer. I want to live up to the “Pleasure to the People” mantra and make it so that no matter what your financial situation, you too can get wood! Payment plans are nothing new, but they have made a comeback in recent years and I feel that those interested in purpose a handmade wooden piece from my shop would benefit. Plans can be discussed privately and tailored to meet your needs, so please feel free to send me a message so we can work something out.

I sincerely hope that both of this new services allow more of you lovely individuals to experience the warmth and handcrafted goodness of Lumberjill’s pleasure sculptures. Flexibility just makes things better. I’d rather leave the rigidness to the wood
